introducing Mr Crow

Introducing Mr. Crow , an #old #friend #newly #found ! 

Gives a photo - op 

They are supposed to be ancestors keeping us company ! 

Since about a week ago he visits my terrace every morning, while I am, there gazing upon me,  as I potter around , doing his little dance steps on the railing .

Interestingly he never leaves without making contact either a tap on the shoulder or a flap on the ear as he flies low past me. 

One day when my back was turned on him he gave me nudge in my back ( making me spill my cup of tea ).

The crow represents change or transformation. But much more than that, it refers more to a spiritual or emotional change. These intelligent birds give us valuable insight into situations around us and help us adapt as needed.

They don’t just think. They strategize. And they remember the faces that underestimate them.

Crows have been surprising scientists for decades. They can plan for the future. They can solve complex water displacement puzzles that many young children struggle with. They use tools, hide food in secret caches, and watch to make sure no one is watching them back. Their intelligence is not instinct. It is decision making.

Researchers have also learned something even more astonishing. When a crow sees a threatening human, it remembers that face for years. It warns other crows. Those crows warn their groups. The knowledge spreads through the flock like a quiet message carried on wings. The next generation learns who to avoid before they ever meet the person.

Fun Fact: In long term studies, crows recognized specific masked researchers after more than a decade, even when the birds had not seen them in years.

Their minds are sharp, social, and deeply aware. The more we study them, the clearer it becomes. Intelligence doesn’t always perch where we expect it.
